. >> christine, we heard mitt romney the last hour just say that the reason unemployment is down because there are so many people that stopped looking for work and what he says is that if you take a look at the number of people who were all seeking jobs, if they were actually included in that number, the real unemployment rate would be 11% because it would include all those folks that are certaining for work, instead of dropping out. does that look accurate? >> yes. here's why. if you look at something called the labor force participation rate, meaning the share of adult workers who are either in the labor market or looking for work, that has gotten smaller and smaller. it's the smallest since 1981 right now. that meensz people have left the labor market, so if you were -- and a lot of economist read these numbers -- if you were to looking look at the labor force participation rate from the day president obama took office and use that same size of the labor force today, you would have an unemployment rate more like 11%, not 7.8%. so on the very basis of that statistic, he is correct, but

romney, whatever happened to obama, romney did set down a new set of arguments. he talked especially well about economic growth in the relationship to growth and spending. he said you could do three things to growth. cut spending, raise taxes or you could get more employment in which people pay taxes to reduce the deficit. at least he is putting down a real argument. he did the same thing with healthcare and regulation. stuart: i just said a moment ago that i think you want the policy debate. that is separate. that is all about how you come across. romney said something about a trickle-down government. >> a very critical pivot moment for me when he used the trickle-down. he changed that to a government dialogue. he said that obama believes in government trickle-down. >> one of the biggest questions this morning is what happened to barack obama. you know, all of his pals are dumping on him and saying he needed a teleprompter. i tell you what i think happened there. this is the same president who they have enjoyed giving campaign speeches which consist mainly of st
